looking for an adress

[Pascal Cagou]

I am using osmand Map+ for many years now but until now, every time I am looking for a precise adress (I mean number plus street and town) , the result is always the street in the town but he never finds the number except if this number is known under openstreetmap.

The only thing you can do is to make a choice of connection of your street with other streets presented in Osmand who are crossing your street.

It is the same weither in France or Spain.

I cannot understand when I know that in France, the database for adresses is opensource, therefore accessible to Osmand developpers .

Is it possible to make them aware  of this question?

This should be a community effort.

In some countries, like for example in the Netherlands, we did some years ago with a small team a huge effort to get all addresses into Openstreetmap with the houses as well. This was done from the opensource BAG database in the Netherlands using java scripts for bulk uploads.

Now another small team keeps updating the database from the BAG database.

As it was about bulk updates, also the central team had to be informed and asked for permission to do this.

Something like that has been done by opensource community volunteers in other countries.

So please start that in France and Spain as well.
